About this ebook

Two of Angel Payne’s most beloved series collide for the first time!

They’re on borrowed time. But is it a gift to be savored or a torture to endured?

Jayd Cimarron and Max Brickham gave themselves to each other during a night that was only supposed to be just that. But when the retrieval mission for Jayd turned into the rescue mission for Brick, their finite hours turned into an accidental extension in Jayd’s island kingdom.

But palm trees and Mediterranean breezes aren’t big enough erasers for their twisted challenges. Brick is a wanted man by nearly every law enforcement agency on the globe, and Jayd is still in the crosshairs of the ruthless renegade who wants her as his ticket into Arcadian politics. Jayd’s brothers don’t see Brick in any better light, especially after discovering he owns two high-end dungeons that cater to people’s hottest fantasies. Their edict is clear. The sooner Brick leaves Arcadia, the better.

Desire dictates other plans.

Brick and Jayd can’t ignore the soul-deep bond that draws their bodies—and hearts—closer. In the furnace of their passion, they have no choice about acknowledging the power of their bond: a connection that’s tested when Jayd disappears during a hostile invasion on Arcadia.

Until now, Brick thought his worst fears had already been faced and beaten. With the help of some trusted friends, he must dive to a new level of terror inside himself—because there, in his heart, is where he’ll find the way back to Jayd. The unbreakable bond of their invincible love.

Ratings and reviews

5 Star review of Bound (Honor Bound # 12) by Angel Payne Bound was everything I was expecting in this epic conclusion to Princess of Arcadia, Jayd Cimarron and Max Brickham’s story. This was a roller coaster of a read, with so much happening and happily all my questions were answered. Congratulations Ms.Payne on what is one of my favourite books you have written. You have assembled a cast of characters that will stay with me for a long time. The journey that Max and Jayd embarked on was full of danger and suspense at every turn. They forged a deep and committed bond that cannot be broken despite all that life puts in their paths. As the action intensifies on Arcadia they will be ripped apart. Bound was a wonderful, steamy, suspenseful story that kept me invested from the first chapter to the last. Max will be forced to face his demons and look deep inside and come to terms with what he finds. The appearance of familiar faces was like seeing old friends as they step up for Max in this emotional and steamy read. Will the feelings that have ignited between them be enough to keep them together once all is resolved?

This is the twelfth book in the Honor Bound series and it is not a standalone as it continues Jayd and Max’s story by picking up where Bared left off. Max was tasked with keeping Jayd safe but things have a way of going awry. The beauty of this book is the wicked roller coaster that Ms. Payne has crafted for readers. Full of action, emotion and suspense this author proves yet again why she is such a tour de force and the reason I one click her books.

Action packed, emotional roller-coaster filled with witty and engaging charters, dangerous twists and heart racing turns. An edge of your seat thrill ride from beginning to end and so hard to put down. Loved this heart racing and engaging roller coaster journey.
